Chapter 291 New Problems
When Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan returned to the base, Yu Qingchuan had not yet finished the meeting.
So the two of them went to find Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen first.
After reading the route map recorded by Qiao Yu, Cheng Sinian said with a heavy face, "With such a large area, we definitely can't rescue these imprisoned people with just our limited manpower."
"I know." Qiao Yu pursed her lips, "Saving people is not our main task."
"Don't forget, the reason we attacked the dependent settlement was to get the samples."
Cheng Sinian said nothing more after hearing this, but just sighed softly.
"Will we take action after nightfall?"
"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded, "But you need to go there in advance, because both sides cannot launch attacks at the same time."
No matter how small the survivor base in City A is, it has the strength of more than a dozen regiments.
If the "Reservoir" and the dependent settlement launched an attack at the same time, then the base military cases would most likely be divided into three groups more evenly, so that the number of mercenaries left behind at the base would be more than they expected.
Therefore, we must create a time difference and catch them off guard.
After the "Reservoir" launches an attack, the base's leadership will likely deploy most of its troops to quickly eliminate the attackers, and may even mobilize troops from the dependent settlements. This will leave the base or dependent settlement defenses significantly weakened.
By the time they launch another attack on the dependent settlement, most of the troops should have been transferred to the "reservoir" and would have no way of getting back in time. Then the base can only send the remaining troops to the dependent settlement to resist.
In this case, it is most beneficial for them to take samples.
Cheng Sinian nodded after hearing what Qiao Yu said. "I understand. But who do you plan to let follow us? Yan Zijin?"
"No." Qiao Yu shook his head. "I plan to let Yan Zijin and the others follow Qingchuan and Yueyue."
"You're over there at the 'reservoir', and the terrain is relatively open. Even if something goes wrong during the operation, it will be easy for you to escape."
"But the situation at the Dependent Base is not certain."
The dependent base is surrounded by steel walls to prevent alien invasions, and the escape route will be severely restricted when escaping.
Although they have now figured out the terrain, they don't know whether the dependent base has any other medicines or weapons.
So generally speaking, the risk at the dependent base is higher than that at the "reservoir".
If Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen had not seen that kind of mutated plant, and their special ability happened to be convenient for setting fires, she would most likely let Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen go to the dependent settlement.
"Yan Zijin is very smart. If something really goes wrong along the way, I believe that with his intelligence, he is fully capable of protecting himself."
Although Xiang Heng is not stupid, but if compared with Yan Zijin, Yan Zijin's winning rate is definitely higher.
Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen looked at each other and nodded, "Okay, we got it."
Cheng Sinian looked down at the time and said, "It's a little after two in the afternoon. We'll set off at three."
Although it won't get dark that early, we still have to do something, so it's always a good idea to scout the terrain early.
Maybe I can set a trap in advance.
"Okay." Qiao Yu nodded again, "But to prevent alerting the enemy, please don't send out signal fireworks."
Although signal fireworks are convenient, they are also more likely to be noticed.
Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Let's use the explosion as a signal."
"As soon as the explosions sound over there, this operation will officially begin."
"Sister Qiao, how long do we need to delay?" Luo Zhenzhen blinked and asked hesitantly.
Before Qiao Yu could reply, Cheng Sinian laughed, "Oh, my silly wife."
"Of course, the longer this kind of thing is delayed, the better!"
Cheng Sinian rubbed Luo Zhenzhen's little head, his tone helpless and doting.
Qiao Yu also smiled softly, "That's right. As long as we can ensure that you can escape unscathed, the longer it takes, the better."
Jiang Zhan said that there were a lot of mental fluctuations in the underground laboratory that was suspected to be a sample library.
In other words, the number of samples there is relatively large.
They now have no idea about the samples and have no goal at all, so if they want to get the correct samples, they need to take as many samples as possible.
So that also means they need more time.
"But no matter what, you must remember," Qiao Yu said seriously, "the prerequisite for completing the mission is to ensure your own safety."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen nodded seriously.
Qiao Yu's expression softened slightly as he continued, "I've calculated that, normally, at the speed of a mercenary, it would take at least half an hour to travel from the north gate of the base to the 'reservoir'."
"But if you go from the dependent settlement to the 'reservoir', it only takes about twenty minutes at the fastest."
"So we will wait until about half an hour after the explosion on your side before launching an attack on the dependent settlement."
"During this period, you must destroy as many mutant plants as possible."
As Qiao Yu was speaking, he suddenly noticed Jiang Zhan looking towards the door.
Qiao Yu turned his gaze towards Jiang Zhan with a questioning look on his face.
"Yu Qingchuan is back. He is walking this way with Huayue." Jiang Zhan explained in a low voice.
Qiao Yu raised his chin towards Cheng Sinian and said, "Open the door."
Cheng Sinian sighed helplessly. So he was just a doorman, right?
But despite all his complaints, Cheng Sinian still stood up quickly and opened the door.
"Qingchuan, Yueyue, you came just in time. We were discussing the operational deployment."
As soon as Yu Qingchuan and Hua Yue entered the room, they heard Qiao Yu laughing softly.
Seeing this, Yu Qingchuan didn't smile. He looked at Qiao Yu with seriousness in his eyes and said word by word: "Qiao Yu, the plan may need to change again."
"Huh? What do you mean?" Qiao Yu suppressed his smile, frowned slightly, and a hint of confusion flashed across his face.
"I just came from the exchange meeting. Do you know what the effects of the medicine they demonstrated today are?"
"What effect?" Cheng Sinian stretched out his arm and put his hand on Yu Qingchuan's shoulder. "Ah Chuan, please stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."
Yu Qingchuan pursed his lips, a solemn look flashing in his eyes, "Today's medicine can turn even the dead into weapons."
"Turn the dead into weapons?" Cheng Sinian murmured. "Resurrection? Or... sudden mutation like the aliens?"
